I have a different problem with RP7. I have installed the latest linuxelator on my 5.0-Current system. I've installed the linux version of RP7, and it works just fine for the real.com stuff, and for any URL's that end in .ra or .ram. However, if I go to a page like, http://webevents.broadcast.com/yahoo/nationalpressclubjyang0400/ with those cheesy .asp links, it doesn't work. It starts up RP, but all I get is the little welcome music and the clip I want to view never starts. This is true whether I use the linux version of netscape, or the freebsd. I also have rpnphelper symlinked in /usr/local/bin. I've checked my mime types, and basically done everything I can think of to make this work, and still no joy. E-mail to real.com got a standard response of "we don't support freebsd," but at my insistence the worker bees did go try that page with "real" linux and they could view the clips no problem. I'm at the end of my rope here, so any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. Doug -- Excess on occasion is exhilarating.
